Working on ideas... in a holiday noless

Ever since I have been studying for a degree, my mind wanders on what I would be in the future. I doubt it would be an animator or a 3D designer... because there are people out there outclass me in any way possible. What I was sure about was to do something about the media, be it PR or advertising, broadcast or print.

So after my internship is over and I returned to campus and everything has settled for the holidays, I have my goals set for the first time in 3 years: writing.

Writing for TV/movies specifically.

For those are wondering why, here's why: I had always had a knack of writing stories and creating stories, since high school. Every essay choices during exams I picked is ALWAYS narrative, because it is not very restricting, the words flow much easier compared to writing a factual/descriptive/reflective. Most of all, you NEVER need to worry about being under the word count (Though you need to watch out the time restrictions, because you know, it is a test after all). Which is WHY I ventured Film & Animation, because that's the only majoring that is anything remotely related to storytelling.

So there are two ideas I am tinkering right now:
-FYP idea. Our theme is about "Rhythm", so I need some associations about this particular word. No cliched music-driven animation (Though it would be after all that), so it is about music, rhythmic patterns in life.

Possibly would be done in Motion Graphics and some green screening (Not going to call it a VFX because it isn't).

-Writing my first TV script. I meant it to be pitched somewhere (I doubt it would be here. Possibly in the US). This is fo sho, y'all! I drafted the story outline in a short story form to check out any flaws and fix it before it would be turned into a script.

I sent the story out to some of my friends and got pretty mixed reviews... Not bad for a first timer but I still need some fine tuning to make it appealing.

That's all for now. Signing off.

New Things and Experiences

Two things I have to tell you all here:

1. For the first time in 6 years, I have finally changed my phone! it's a nokia 2630 (not the most state-of-the-art i know, but the drastic change from my old phone is good enough *cough* 3315 *cough* ^_^)

For those who has similar phones that i have now, or even better than mine, you will know that most phones nowadays are featuring a lot of things other than a mere tool of communication. Camera is becoming a staple tool for phones nowadays, along with a radio, recorder, a jukebox... well if any technology can be placed in a itsy bitsy phone someone out there will do it.

Actually I don't mind not having all the fancy applications in my phone. All i need for a mobile phone that can be called out to people, send and receive SMSes. However, I don't mind owning a much more sophisticated phone :D.

2. My Mom wants to put the rarely used oven to use. So she told us to bake a cake! Cake baking is kinda fun, and messy at the same time. To top it off, it's pretty simple, more simple than I thought. Just dump all the ingredients in phrases, place it in the oven and viola, a cake! However, the cake is pretty okay... thought I can do better. Oh well, there's always next time to experiment different flavors of cakes and other pastries. Someday we might not need to buy ourselves cookies during the festive seasons.

Just when you think life is boring, out comes something unexpected to overthrow your mundane life and make it interesting.
